Sharon Penman, the author, was born on
August 13 1945. I didn't know until I
came to write this post that she is American.
I guess because her books that I have read are set in historical times
in England I had just assumed she was English – duh.
The
first one of her books I read was the Sunne in Splendour – a superb book about
Richard III at the end of the Wars of the Roses. I have enjoyed every one of her books. Great historical fiction.
Maybe I should check her out sometime. I love a good historical fiction. Check out Susanna Kearsely's books sometime. They are also historical fiction with a twist. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds very good..thanks.
ReplyDeleteI want to read Susanna Kearsely's THE FIREBIRD, Pocketful of Dreams.
Have you or has anyone read it?

Looks like another author I'll have to check out. I love Historical fiction. I like being able to read a good novel and think about all the happenings of that era.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of Penman's work before. I will have to make some time to read one of her books. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres. Thanks for sharing!
